“Parks and Rec” won’t make a big deal out of Chris Pratt’s rock-hard abs
Co-creator Mike Schur says he has already written a “little tiny acknowledgement or nod to the fact that he looks very different to the way he normally looks. I don’t think beyond a little joke about it that we’ll end up doing anything significant. We’re not going to suddenly say that Andy became a fitness nut because that doesn’t ring true.”

Why “Honey Boo Boo” is superior to “The Newsroom”
Hank Stuever says one show gives you more to think about — “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.” He adds: “The show you’re supposed to pay attention to has nothing to tell you, and the show that”s supposed to rot your brain actually turns it on.”

“The Newsroom” is greatly improved in Season 2
Give Aaron Sorkin another chance, as he’s made the show sharper and edgier, says Verne Gay. “What this show needed to do — and in the first episode, absolutely has done — is get tougher, leaner and create that sense that the ‘newsroom’ is a real place, and not a soapbox for McAvoy (as proxy for Sorkin) to occasionally ascend. Sunday’s episode is much more about process — the manifold little things that add up to one very big thing, a nightly TV news broadcast.” PLUS: Season 2 has less moralizing, so there’s more to like, Season 2 is both really good and really bad just like last year, the new “Newsroom” is a lot more fun to watch, and Olivia Munn is able to overcome the Sorkinese.
